Psalm 63:3-4 “Because YOUR love is better than life, my lips will glorify YOU! I will praise YOU as long as I live, and in YOUR NAME I will lift up my hands!”
Praise Persevering!
Praise ye the LORD from each mountaintop high and when stumbling through shadows in valleys below.
Praise ye the ONE WHO has given HIS NAME for us to be drawn by! The Called, whom HE saved!
For soon shall surpassed be these mountaintop moments when up through the clouds we are lifted to Glory.
So live as HIS children — expectantly watching — while helping those round us continue to climb!
As HIServant daily learning, encouraging and leading by HIS footsteps up the mountain,
Whitney
Devotional: 2 Peter 1:8-11 “For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our LORD JESUS CHRIST….
…For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.” Amen!
So…“begin with the end in mind.” The Bible tells us this to expect Heaven and live in HIS service till HE returns.
While secular authors Stephen Covey and others have popularized this phrase for business and life…
…their goals are inaccurate. Rather!
THE GOAL is Glory with GOD being brought from the end of this age to the “beginning” of Eternity with HIM!
So as we continue to “fix our eyes upon JESUS”, all the trials, challenges, issues and problems of life take a back seat.
Seek HIS kingdom first and those solutions so desperately sought after will be brought to you in GOD’s perfect timing.
So let us keep seeking THE GOAL while faithfully occupying here…so that others are led to HIS steps by your example!
Amen and amen!
